not really sure “unsprung weight” matters on a wheel ... that isnt suspended. That much rear-wheel weight bias might feel weird, though.

well, gotta say i love my 2012 xterra. its a manual, its quick, and it was 5k less than an equivalent 4runner. Its simple inside, but its a pleasant kind of simple.

Which describes, what, 75% of GoPro owners, I'd bet?

I also struggled at first, but knowing when/how to lock on and use the auto - velocity matching helped me out A TON. really took a lot of the stress out of it.

A major part of his infrastructure plan is to electrify the government vehicle fleet and establish charging networks. That's a big deal, and no republican would be pushing that. 

well, switching from my minion DHF 2.3s to 2.5s made the bike feel sluggish as hell, and thats a weight penalty of almost 2/3 lb per wheel. And you’re also right that it is hard to disentangle weight from lots of other factors. While all the extra grip has been nice, I dont like the increase in effort its taken to get…

MTB riders definitely care about the weight. even a modest change in tire weight can make the bike feel very different to ride. it takes a lot of force to accelerate a tire, and light tires make a bike feel much more responsive, but not usually worth the tradeoffs of less grip and increased rate of punctures. Add an…

Yes, you’re right, context matters. In the context of this thread, my casual perusal of it is that your message (your original reply) predates the more violent anti-fascist ones. Of course, there are hundreds of comments and kinja isnt exactly the easiest to navigate, so perhaps you saw a bunch of things that said…

I think the people of IH8MUD would have an o-pinion on this.

is this you replying to my first sentence and skipping the rest of my post:

Im sorry, maybe I’ve misunderstood which angle you’re coming at this from. Is it that it was wrong of Marjorie Taylor Greene to say that “a bullet to the head” would be a faster way to deal with Nancy pelosi than voting her out of office? Or was it all the people saying “play stupid games win stupid prizes” over the…

There was very little progressive enthusiasm for Biden. He has been a center-left candidate for basically his whole career. He is currently working very hard to show the progressive wing that he hasnt abandoned them now that he is president, since he wouldnt have been elected without their votes.

Progressives see him…

Im amazed that calling fascists fascists (historians who study fascism call the Trump strategy fascistic, not just armchair pols like us here on Kinja) has you freaking out, while the GOP and Fox have working together to build a narrative for DECADES that Democrats are literally ENEMIES OF THE USA because they want…

This is why robust, trustworthy media is important. You are comparing two complex issues and saying “they’re both false, sooooo....”

Trump telegraphed for months he was going to say the vote was illegitimate if he lost. Then he loses, says theres widespread fraud, and can provide NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER that convinces…

Im an academic scientist who has published in these kinds of journals, and I can tell you that scientists are currently VERY frustrated with publishing. Not getting paid to review, the nebulous reasons papers arent accepted, the timetable of publishing (around 8 months from first submission), the fact that by the time…

sweet LORD that sentence made me shudder

A weird thing Ive noticed with my Roku remotes is that almost every time I use them I need to pop the batteries out and in again to get them to work. This has been true for at least a month.

I’m a scientist who does a lot of python programming, and working in Unix has kept me on a mac for a decade. However, I needed to do some ML stuff that is severely sped up by a NVIDIA GPU with CUDA cores, so now I have an Ubuntu workstation, built from scratch, with oodles of ram, space for a second GPU, a 1TB SSD…

NA Miatas. Quite a few tooling around Colorado this winter, looking fly as hell.
